Mitchell cruises to win in Democratic primary for Lt. Gov.

Madison firefighter Mahlon Mitchell, who helped lead protests last year against Gov. Scott Walker's anti-collective bargaining policies, defeated two opponents to win the Democratic primary for Wisconsin lieutenant governor Tuesday.
With the win, the president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin will now challenge Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in the June 5 recall election.
According to unofficial results, Mitchell defeated Milwaukee private detective Ira Robins and fake Democrat Isaac Weix. Kleefisch didn't have a primary opponent.
The lieutenant governor's job carries no official duties. However, the lieutenant governor would take over if the governor dies, leaves office early or is incapacitated.
Mitchell, 35, is a lieutenant in the Madison Fire Department, where he has worked for 15 years. He said he looks forward to getting back on the campaign trail.
"I'm going to reach all 72 counties and make sure we win this thing," Mitchell said at his victory party in Madison.
Kleefisch, appearing at a joint Walker-Kleefisch election night party in Waukesha, issued a statement saying she and Walker had "balanced the budget and laid the foundation for moving Wisconsin's economy forward" and electing Mitchell and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett would be a step backward.
